Discord - What is it? And how do I join it?
v1.0 16th November 2025
Discord is a widely used communication system used by many gaming related organisations. It gives us the voice capavility of TeamSpeak but adds a much more capable interactive text function that can be used on desktop and through Androis and iOS systems. You can keep in touch with BAV even when you're out and about!
You have several choices when it comes to using Discord, either through a website, a desktop app and a mobile app.
- Download Desktop App
- Discord Web
- Mobile apps can be found on the relevant app store
In order to start using Discord you will need to register with your own account by registering with Discord.
